Sophie Higgs, designer collection specialist from Fellows Auctioneers, said: “The Endless Road Hermès Birkin HAC is one of most interesting handbags we have ever had up for auction. The Endless Road design is extremely rare. It was only retailed by Hermès for a limited time and is no longer part of the current collection. The only way to purchase one of these handbags is through the secondary market. Given its scarcity, it will be sought-after in our June Designer Collection auction.”
Hermès Birkin handbags were named after Jane Birkin following a flight from Paris to London with Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas in the 1980s.
This example is lot 141 in the Designer Collection auction which begins today at 10am.
